Common companion planting pairs include combinations that provide mutual benefits, such as pest control, improved growth or enhanced flavour. Examples include:

• Tomatoes and basil: Basil repels pests like aphids and whiteflies and can enhance the flavour of tomatoes.
• Carrots and onions: Onions deter carrot flies, while carrots repel onion flies.
• Beans and corn: Beans fix nitrogen in the soil, benefiting the corn, while corn provides support for the climbing beans.
• Marigolds and almost any vegetable: Marigolds repel nematodes and other harmful insects, making them a versatile companion plant.
• Cucumbers and nasturtiums: Nasturtiums attract aphids away from cucumbers and can improve the flavour of the cucumbers.

By incorporating these and other companion planting pairs into your garden, you can create a more balanced and productive growing environment.

Creating a sensory garden involves incorporating elements that engage the five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. Choose a variety of plants with different colours, textures and scents to provide visual and tactile interest. Include plants with fragrant flowers or aromatic foliage, such as lavender, rosemary or mint. Add features like wind chimes, water fountains or rustling grasses to create soothing sounds. Incorporate edible plants, like herbs, fruits and vegetables, to engage the sense of taste. Use pathways and seating areas to encourage exploration and relaxation. By designing a garden that stimulates all the senses, you can create a therapeutic and enjoyable outdoor space for all ages.

A pollinator garden is designed to attract and support pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and birds, by providing a variety of nectar-rich plants and habitats. Pollinator gardens play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and ensuring the health of ecosystems by promoting pollination, which is essential for the reproduction of many plants. To create a pollinator garden, choose a diverse selection of native plants that bloom at different times throughout the year, providing a continuous source of food. Include a mix of flower shapes, colours and sizes to attract different pollinators. Provide water sources, such as shallow dishes or birdbaths and create shelter with dense shrubs, trees and nesting sites. Avoid using pesticides, which can harm pollinators. By creating a pollinator garden, you can support local wildlife and promote a healthy, vibrant ecosystem.
